I offer tailor made courses to adults and children both individuals and small groups (up to 5 people), to suit your needs and requirements. I combine a variety of methods such as written exercises, reading and oral comprehension using written texts and DVDs, games and role play scenarios to help you obtain the best level of French as possible and give you the skills and confidence to engage in French conversation. I am passionate about helping you achieve your French language goals.
